Fahrenheit 9/11 Sneak Preview: The Sequel

Here's another sneak peek at Michael Moore's documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11," which opens June 25th. Anyone fascinated by the 9/11 commission's minute-by-minute breakdown of who did what on that dreadful day was surely brought up short by the image of Bush sitting in a second grade class and blithely continuing to read to school kids after being told by an aide that "America is under attack." Here's the scoop: Michael Moore has extensive footage of that moment and Bush looks like a deer caught in the headlights. The combination of what he does/n't do, our knowledge of what was happening in New York City and Michael Moore's scathing voice-over is damning. It's impossible to buy Bush's argument today that he wanted to project an image of calm -- he looks like someone unsure of what to do next when no one is there to tell him. How did Moore get the footage? He simply asked. The school, of course, was videotaping the president's visit and Moore just called them up -- something not one other media outlet in the entire world bothered to do.
